I think I would agree with your assessment (generally) of lots of segments of the work force. However, I would not put the blame entirely on the workers themselves. Random, capricious and hostile management practices over many decades have sucked much of the life out of American workers. Also, declining wages, benefits and standards of living don't exactly inspire people to have a smile at work. These factors have only recently begun to affect the Japanese labor market. Time will tell if they adopt our attitudes toward work.
